Jon on Trump's Meme Assault on Canada & the Alternate Reality He's Constructed | Gov. Spencer Cox
About this episode
Jon Stewart discusses Trump's trade war with Canada and interviews Governor Spencer Cox about his new book on peacemaking in a polarized America.
Trump’s delusions have him amping up his trade war with Canada, renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America," denying rising food and gas prices in the U.S., and winning the Iran War again and again. But as the president’s poll numbers sink, loyal acolytes like “human printer” Natalie Harp glaze him into a comforting alternate reality, and Jon Stewart wants in. Republican Governor Spencer Cox joins Jon to discuss his new book, “Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt,” and reveals how the assassination of Charlie Kirk in his home state of Utah pushed him to finish writing it. Gov. Cox believes genuine, good-faith debate is the only way out of America’s polarization crisis and explains how Utah’s handling of religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights shows that opposing sides can find common ground. Jon debates the governor over whether the solution to America’s polarization starts with individuals talking to each other or with the system itself changing first. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- Go to https://Quince.com/dailyshow for free shipping on your order and 365-day…
